A novel control strategy for the DAB and series-loaded resonant converters is introduced. It gives the possibility of fixed-frequency, zero voltage switching in the entire converter output V-I-plane.

In an example, the ration of the maximum output power to the minimum output power was 16:1. When the period was fixed, the ratio of the maximum output power to the minimum output power was only 1.36:1. If the switching time was shortened by a longer interval than the damper period, the zero-voltage resonance condition could not be satisfied and the control range was narrowed. To overcome this problem, an auxiliary switch was provided in the resonance loop. As a result, the zero-voltage switch condition was expanded to a range such as that obtained in the case of a variable period. In the minimum output condition, the subclass-E mode was obtained for an on-time shorter than that in variable-period control, and the control range was expanded to 133:1 in terms of the maximum-to-minimum output power ratio.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":238105,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Thirteenth International Telecommunications Energy Conference - INTELEC 91","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130035196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
